New Bantam revived to the present age after 40 years since the appearance of the historical name machine “Bantam 100”. By adopting a core solid body integrally molded with level wind protector and side plate, main frame, we banished Rattling at the time of paring. It realized high rigidity to draw a line from the conventional rope robe.

Aluminum forging the dial case that supports the spool, proprietary structure to expose from the side of the body to compact and transfer vibration directly to the palmmed palm. It also contributes to high sensitivity.

Characteristics of Bantam MGL

Integrated aluminum frame

The body which can be said to be the most characteristic of Bantam MGL. Beautiful seamless integral molding draws attention. It also plays an important role in providing a comfortable winding feel.

Equipped with MGL spool

“MGL spool” is the latest spool that Shimano boasts. Bantam MGL is equipped with a deep groove type 150th spool. It corresponds to the heavy line that makes use of a tough body. The height of turning power which fly with light force is supported by many anglers. Line capacity of 16lb – 328 ft has plenty of support for strong fishing styles.

New SVS Infinity

While NEW SVS ∞ (Infinity) is a centrifugal brake, it realizes a brake adjustment range that can handle most situations only by adjusting the external dial. If you turn on 4 brake shoes, internal adjustment is basically unnecessary. Braking force adjustment is available for most situations with external dial only.

Low profile & compact but high rigidity

The sense of security provided by integral aluminum molding can be said to be the true point of Shimano. Items pursuing rigidity and winding feel with a rope reel on the current reel have less unique presence.

The side plate on the side opposite to the handle is also integrated to realize a high rigidity by reducing the number of parts and the compact body that is easier to palm. It also plays a role in improving the sensitivity because the hand touches the dial case which also has the role of bearing.
